Hello! My name is David, and I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology, Center for Computational Molecular Biology, and the Institute at Brown for Environment and Society, where I am advised by Dr. Emilia Huerta-Sánchez. As an undergraduate and post-baccalaureate, I worked with Dr. Daniel Matute in the Department of Biology at UNC-Chapel Hill studying the genetic mechanisms and evolutionary consequences of hybridization in Drosophila.

My research combines population genetic theory, statistical modelling, empirical work, and field work to better understand the genetic basis of speciation. Currently, my graduate studies are focused on two main topics:

  • Assessing the ubiquity and evolutionary outcomes of introgression across the tree of life.
  • Characterizing patterns of reproductive isolation and genetic variation between cryptic Amphicarpaea bracteata lineages.
